Seeing You Growing Up Quotes Novels & Stories

Hindi nila pinaramdam sa akin na mag-isa ako sa bahay na ito. “You grew up too fast,” mahina niyang sambit habang bahagyang napapangiti. “Parang kailan lang… umiiyak ka pa dahil ayaw mong pumasok sa preschool.” Napakagat ako agad sa labi ko. “And now…” dahan-dahan siyang napatingin sa akin. “You’re old enough to see our flaws and old enough to decide on your own," Hindi ko kinaya ang paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin.

Masyado siguro akong okupado sa mga nangyayari sa buhay ko at nakakalimutan ko nang nineteen na ako sa susunod na linggo. Noong bata pa ako, hinihiling kong bumilis ang mga taon at gustong gusto kong lumaki na. I believed that life will be easier once you grow up. You won't be scolded because of eating too much sweets. You won't be scolded for playing all day, forgetting about your homeworks. Or you won't be upset for being overly protected like a fragile glass.

Ngayon ko naintindihan ang sinabi sa akin ni Mom about sa roses niya sa garden when I was a little. Gusto kong pitasin iyon kahit hindi pa talaga siya bumubukadkad. Pinalo pa niya ang aking kamay. 'kahit gusto mo na yan pitasin wag mong gagawin kasi hindi mo na makikita ang ganda niyan. You will never see its potential kung agad mong puputulin sa magpapabukadkad sa kanya..yung buhay niya..makakapagpatuloy pa ba yan kung pinutol mo na sa puno.'

Nanatili akong tahimik sa pwesto ko, naghihintay din sa magiging sagot niya. I saw him glancing at our side for a moment before turning back to Chris.

Siguro saka ko lalong maiintindihan ang gusto niyang sabihin kapag sariling anak ko na ang nakikita kong lumalaki. I've always say to myself that adulting is scary because you'll face the true battle. Napabuntong hininga ako. “You can sit here. Ihahanda ko lang ang cake.” Iminuwestra niya sa akin ang high chair.

"But you are sad po. I can see it everytime po na may nagsasabing mag-take ako ng examination para po makalaktaw ako ng grade. Hindi nyo po sinasabi saakin pero alam ko pong gusto nyong maging normal ako." Hinawakan nya ang magkabilang pisngi nito saka tinitigang mabuti ang kayumanggi nitong mga mata. "It's not like that, anak. I am sad because I miss you being a kid.
